How can an army be so embarrassing? Even if it is beaten back, it is more honorable than being kicked out of Dingnan Province with just one word at the dinner table.
But if they cheat...these generals, who usually have a high level of ambition, may not have the shame to see Su Yin again in this life.
At this time, Zhu Tianci cleared his throat and said, "Okay, our Dingnan Field Army must be able to afford to lose even if we lose. Your Excellency, the Dingnan Field Army will withdraw from Dingnan Province within half a year. How about it?"
Half a year?
Su Yin snorted. By accident, this guy Zhu Tianci took advantage of the loophole. He only said that the organization would be withdrawn, but did not say when it would be withdrawn. Half a year? By that time, the day lily will be cold. If they make some small moves within half a year,
Blocking Su Yin's plan in Dingnan Province will have an extremely serious impact on the future fight against the Yeti puppet army.
Su Yin shook his head, "Mr. Zhu, isn't half a year a bit long?"
Zhu Tianci was indeed a natural master of showing off and submissiveness on the stage. He immediately put on an embarrassed expression, which didn't look like he was pretending at all, "Your Excellency, the Duke also has experience in commanding troops. He should know that army planning is no longer a piece of cake.
At present, the Dingnan Field Army has three large camps stationed in Dingnan Province, providing 20,000 infantry and cavalry. It is easy for them to withdraw, but the handover of defense areas, barracks placement, ordnance transportation, and food and grass handling are all real problems. If it were so easy,
If we withdraw, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of inconvenience to us and you, the Duke."
Su Yin was furious. This Zhu Tianci was clearly making excuses to cause inconvenience to the Duke, and he was also secretly threatening.
If the Dingnan Field Army withdraws, Su Yin will naturally have a headache if some rogue gangsters lurking in the Dingnan Province are waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. However, Su Yin can believe that Zhu Tianci did this for Su Yin's benefit. Hum,
Su Yin is not that naive yet.
Qingyan wanted to open her mouth to argue, but was stopped by Su Yin.
"Mr. Zhu's words make sense, so we have agreed that half a year will be half a year. In the early summer of next year, we also ask Mr. Zhu to fulfill his promise and withdraw the three battalions of the Dingnan Field Army from Dingnan Province." Su Yin said,
"During this period, my soldiers will gradually take over the defense area of the Dingnan Field Army. I hope that the generals and soldiers can cooperate by then."
Zhu Tianci said, "There is no problem, but Tianci secretly feels that the Duke's move does not seem to be cost-effective."
Su Yin raised his eyebrows, "Oh, how do you say this?"
Zhu Tianci said, "Tianci heard that the Duke came to settle the southern province and fiefdom. He initially brought two thousand infantry of the Qin army. Later, he mobilized ten thousand infantry and cavalry from Marshal Yue on the northern front. Now he is fully equipped.
It can be considered that there are more than 12,000 troops, and Tianci heard that the Duke is preparing to build a new city on the southern border of Dingnan Province, and the manpower is even more scarce. The 12,000 soldiers must not only take over the defense, but also assist in building the city.
I'm afraid the Duke is under great pressure."
Su Yin nodded, "It's really big, but it's not enough. I've found a solution."
Zhu Tianci smiled and said, "Your Excellency, the solution is not so easy to find. Tianci knows that the Duke has many capable people, but talents are rare and manpower is hard to find. The total population of Dingnan Province is just over 400,000. If a large number of civilians are recruited,
, it may cause public dissatisfaction, Your Majesty the Duke, you have just arrived in the fiefdom, so this will be detrimental to you, Your Majesty the Duke."
